Everyone Needs Training
It is common knowledge
that anyone who holds a professional license of any kind has a continuing
education (CE) requirement to keep it active. The timeline for completion of
the CE varies from annual to every four years. But what about your employees
that don’t hold a professional license? They are just as essential to your
business as your licensed associates and should be provided with workplace
training that keeps them current with corporate policies and procedures, state
rules and regulations, and industry trends that affect their role in your
organization.
Several states, most notably California and New York, require employers to
provide annual sexual harassment prevention training – and in light of the “me
too” movement, why wouldn’t all employers want to train their staff on this hot
topic?
We are also seeing trends for cybersecurity and data protection
training. Think about all of the system hacks you have read about in the news
where sensitive information has been hacked from big organizations like Target,
Home Depot, and Equifax. If your staff – licensed or not licensed alike – were
not affected by these hacks, they likely know someone who was. It is really
important that all staff members are familiar with, and can identify, phishing
and spear phishing scams, denial of service attacks, malware, ransomware, and
other forms of cyber-attacks. Social Media platforms are also popular tools for
advertising and sharing information. Users of social media need to understand
the rules surrounding use and archival of information when used in your
business.
For all of these reasons and more WebCE has released a series of non-industry
specific, workplace training courses to meet the needs of your non-registered,
non-licensed associates. You can find more information on our website under
workplace training.
